back in the '90s four minnesota tax protesters were convicted of trying to kill a federal marshal with ricin. there is an unsolve series of ricin-laced letters from a decade ago the so-called fallen angel cases where real ricin was sent to the u.s. department of transportation. it was intercepted by the postal service in greenville, south carolina. ricin was also sent to the white house by someone identity still unknown whose apparent beef had to do with trucking regulations. that case is still unsolved. that was not the threat of ricin. that was real ricin. just like this case in mississippi. now today in very strange fashion it opened right back up again. joining us now is the reporter from the newspaper who first broke the story in mississippi. thank you very much for your time. nice to have you here with us. >> thank you, rachel. glad to be here. >> do we know what exactly caused the feds to release paul kevin curtis today and drop the charges against him? >> well, all that i know of at this point, because they're not telling us a whole lot, yesterday his attorney had made a motion

internet sales tax which used to be considered the amazon loophole. it cleared a procedural hurdle in the senate yesterday and it could get a vote this week and obama supports levying that tax. they say about $23 billion is lost a year with this loophole and amazon's no longer fighting this battle. actually they're so big and in so many different states that they do not even get involved in this discussion. it is ebay that's been lobbying heavily to keep this loophole in place as we all have enjoyed the benefit from time to time. i want to also point out netflix. you want to talk about andle? it reports after the close today. netflix reported yesterday. netflix stock was at like $53 last september. it is now over $200. they almost have as many subscribers as hbo does now. the stock is up 112%. >> unbelievable! >> 112% in a year. apple's down 30%. >> brian, stop right here. look at that. steve ratner, netflix was on its last breath. they had called in the priest to read it its last rights. i don't want to overplay one thing, but suddenly the guy goes f
